The payments made by 22 & 23 Car. II. c. xv. (1670) were increased by 44 George III. c. lxxxix. (1804).

As the City and Liberties of London are converted into offices, banks, warehouses, etc., and are almost depopulated, it is important and instructive to give the names of the parishes which appear in the Fire Act of 1670, with the respective annual sums allowed in 1670 and the modified annual sums allowed in 1804. The first sum is for 1670, the second for 1804, and the third shows net income in 1890, with population from Clergy List, 1891.

With respect to other parishes in the City and Liberties of London which are not included in the Fire Act, the incumbents received the tithes specified in the Acts 27 Henry VIII., c. xxi. and 37 Henry VIII. c. xii., viz., 2s. 9d. in the pound upon the rentals of the houses. The whole sum was paid into the common treasury of the parish, and was applied to three purposes, viz. (1) the support of the clergy; (2) the relief of the poor; and (3) the repairs of the church. Here is the tripartite division.[279] By the London (City) Tithes Act, 27, 28 Vict. c. cclxviii. (1864), annual fixed sums are paid in lieu of tithes, but subject to a revision on the first avoidance of the benefice that happens after the expiration of a period of 28 years from the passing of the Act.

These are the benefices:—
